Overview
Bowling Green is the oldest public park in New York City, a small teardrop-shaped plaza at the southern end of Broadway in the Financial District, designated a park in 1733 and still ringed by its original 18th-century fence. It is next to the site of the Dutch fort of New Amsterdam and beside the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House, which houses the National Museum of the American Indian. Charging Bull is at its north end.
